Chargers sign pass rusher Freeney to two-year deal

The San Diego Chargers agreed to a two-year deal with aging star pass rusher Dwight Freeney yesterday that could be worth $13.35?million.

The deal to bring Freeney to the Chargers came four days after outside linebacker Melvin Ingram suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in a padless practice.

The addition of Freeney, 33, also helps cushion the loss of outside linebackers Antwan Barnes and Shaun Phillips to free agency.

Colsaerts forced to take penalty drop in restroom

Graeme McDowell reached the semifinals of the World Match Play Championship in Kavarna, Bulgaria, after knocking out defending champion Nicolas Colsaerts, whose day included taking a penalty drop inside a restroom.

McDowell rallied from an early deficit to win 2 and 1 and will next face Branden Grace of South Africa, who beat Chris Wood of England 2 and 1. The other semifinal will pit Thomas Aiken of South Africa against Thailand’s Thongchai Jaidee.

Colsaerts had the most memorable moment of the day when his tee shot on the short par-4 10th hole flew into a hazard behind a public restroom in a brick building close to the green. Because of where the ball crossed the hazard line, tournament officials ruled that the penalty drop must be made within the restroom itself. But he didn’t have to hit out of the restroom. Since it was considered an immovable obstruction, he was then given free relief to play from outside.

Colsaerts ended up saving par and halving the hole.

• Keegan Bradley overcame two early bogeys and maintained his lead at the PGA Tour’s Byron Nelson Championship in Irving, Texas, with a 2-under-par 68 in the third round.

Bradley has a 13-under 197 total for a one-stroke lead over Sang-Moon Bae (66) and a two-shot lead over Tom Gillis (67).

• Chella Choi shot her second straight 6-under 66 to take a one-stroke lead over Jessica Korda and Anna Nordqvist, the Swede who broke the course record with a 61, in the third round of the Mobile Bay LPGA Classic in Mobile, Ala.

Nordqvist broke the course record of 62 set by Sydnee Michaels on Friday.
